Killing it softly.

**Sigh**

I like the news topics that are posted in "off topic" if not directly gun related. I don't do FakeBook or Twaddler anymore, so I enjoy engaging on Forums like this with people who share a common interest in Texas CHL/LTC and Gun Related Topics. Wehn there is an off topic section in a forum, I like to check it out, because there tends to be a lot of thoughtful discussion with members who are already familiar from their gun topic posts. This kind of forum is what "social media" is supposed to be about...an affinity group for people who share interests in common.

Boom. You won’t see their posts anymore. You’ll probably see a placeholder noting that they made a post, but you won’t see the post itself

Is there a way to ignore a thread here??? Been pecking but have not found a way yet...

So pick your own news site to compare it to if Drudge was a bad example.

Almost half the topics on page one in this off topic subforum are topics posted by one guy. They're all 24/7 cable news style topics. If I wanted that, I'd be on a news website.

I come to read about gun/Texas chl stuff, but all the recent activity is always that one guy posting random news he finds online.

At first, we couldn't carry concealed weapons at all, and there was the big push to create a "Concealed Handgun License" law, which Bush Jr. finally did. So a CHL was a big, novel, new deal, and it was a ripe situation for a Texas CHL forum. Later we got open carry passed, which was a big hullabaloo that amounted to nothing, and a CHL was then called an LTC.

We coasted along for awhile, and eventually just about everything that could be said about a CHL (LTC) had been said. Then we passed constitutional carry, after which we don't even NEED a license to carry. So the very basis for the existence of the forum has pretty much dissolved.

On some other sites, like Texas Gun Forum, our forum, and Charles in particular, is HEAVILY flamed as being too restrictive and censored. Of course, that's bull, Charles is a great guy and we all know it. One accusation is that if you say ANYTHING negative about the NRA on here, you'll be kicked off and banned.
